Dash Pad Cover at 1A Auto

Dash Pad Cover Basics

A dashboard is an extremely important part of a vehicle. Located at the front of a car or truck’s interior, a dashboard is essentially a control panel that houses all kinds of instrumentation and controls that are needed to operate the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, fuel gauge, heating and A/C controls, and more. You may not even think about it much, but the reality is that your vehicle’s dashboard is constantly exposed to a pretty harsh environment, including wide temperature swings, direct sunlight for hours at a time, various cleaning chemicals, and the occasional bump or hit. As they get older, all of these factors can cause dashboards to become faded, brittle, crack, and fall apart.

If your vehicle’s dashboard is suffering from any of these problems and is in need of some serious TLC, you can renew and restore your car or truck’s interior with a new dash pad cover (also commonly referred to as a dash cap) from 1A Auto.

Dash Caps From 1A Auto

Aftermarket dash caps from 1A Auto are molded using original factory dashboards to ensure a perfect fit for the specific make, model, and year of car or truck’s existing dashboard. They are made from a type of vacuum formed plastic that allows for flexibility similar to rubber so that they are durable and can be easily maneuvered into position for easy automobile dashboard repair. Dash caps from 1A Auto have also been designed so that they easily install over your car or truck’s original dash pad, so there is no need to remove the old one. Simply apply the adhesive that is included to the dash cap and then lay in place over your old dashboard. These dash covers are laminated with a special layer of ultra-violet resistant material which won't fade in the sun and deteriorate your dashboard and cause cracks in it. These interior dash covers are a breakthrough for the aftermarket and are perfect for any auto restoration project!
